Rhine Valley Trip from Frankfurt including Rhine River Cruise

Relaxing river cruise we will never forget. The lift ride was a lovely unexpected bonus. The guide was excellent.

The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and quite the conversationalist. Just the right amount of time traveling, eating lunch, the river cruise and shopping. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wanted to sample the Rhine Valley and a short cruise.

Our guide, Peter was delightful. The tour started late because of weekend traffic and hence some entertaining driving by Peter! The tour involved a brief river cruise through the Rhine Valley (wish it was longer). We stopped at an elaborately decorated restaurant where we were given an decent German meal followed by vine tasting (in rather tiny glasses). The whole process of vine tasting was explained in detail by our guide who was well versed with history of the region. Overall it was a very brief overview of the region in half a day which entices us to go there for a longer time.

Riding along the beautiful Rhine River and enjoying the sites. The views were spectacular. In enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. The wine tasting was skimpy.

This is a wonderful tour. It is a unique opportunity to catch a glimpse of Rhine valley. Our guide and driver Mike was the friendliest person we ever met. He was highly knowledgable about the region and it's history. I highly recommend this tour

We enjoyed our cable lift and Rhine river cruise. The restaurant where we ate lunch was very nice and filled with artistic decorations. Our driver/guide was very professional and an excellent driver.

Chair lift down to the River was amazing. The views from the boat were so beautiful. Our guide was great!

The travel to and from Frankfurt was about 2 hours total. The actual time on the boat was limited to maybe an hour. In the surrounding town it would have been nice to be allowed to browse as we wished instead of needing to walk with the group. I think what really could be better is dinner. And wine tasting .It was very average wienerschnitzel and French fries served in a terribly gaudy restaurant , no drinks included and then we were taken to an even more over decorated back room where we were given tiny amounts of wine in plastic cups that looked like medicine cups for our tasting. Overall I was rather disappointed though the natural beauty of the area made up for a lot :). The other thing I was taken aback by , even though I paid full price for my niece who is 13, the tour guide told the boat that she was 12 to get a better price on her ticket. I thought that was sneaky and if I had known the language better might have insisted that he did not do this.

Great tour for small groups, dinner and wine tasting experience were excellent. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Unfortunately, all of the previous reviews are correct. I decided to give this tour a try even though the reviews weren't the best. The tour guides were actually very friendly and very informative and they made the tour somewhat barrable. The gondola ride was an extra 6 Euros and was worth doing. It had nice views going down to the river and ended in the little town. We then walked through the town where the guides again were very informative of all of our questions and showed us interesting architecture. We then got lunch at the restaurant where the food was decent but the restaurant was very tacky and had a lot going on. Everything besides the meal does cost extra (which isn't a big deal) just be prepared for that. After lunch we took a boat ride which is more of a ferry to different docks along the river. The boat ride was probably the most disappointing portion of the tour. You are on the boat with about 100 other passengers and we essentially just stopped at 3 docking stations multiple times. We saw 4-5 castles and there was no one around to tell us anything about what we were seeing. It was a beautiful sunny day and the view was great but I learned nothing about the history of anything along the river which was the main reason I went on the tour. After the boat we went back the restaurant where we did the "wine tasting". Again the guides were great in telling us about the different wines, where they are made, what makes them good/different but the sample was less than a sip. Literally a splash in a thimble sized cup. I'm not a big wine drinker but I know I need a full sip or two in order to get the full taste/experience of the wine. We finished the tour at a monument that overlooked the river and the guides did great at telling us the history and why its there. Overall the tour was a big disappointment from what I was expecting, especially for paying the amount that they charge. If you want to see the Rhine River, I would not recommend going on this tour. You would get the same experience if you were to go there yourself. Viator has other tours that are a bit more expensive and maybe those will give you a true tour experience.
